Description

As a part of working out plots for the Crusaders All-New Adventures covers I started compiling lists of all Archie's super heroes. You wouldn't know it by looking at the 80's or any of the newer series but they actually have a whole mess of characters. So many that even including as many as I could in the Crusaders there were still lots left. As the idea of the Crusaders cover was to continue and "expand" the Archie universe it struck me that a companion series, like Marvel Spotlight, would be a perfect way to showcase the rest of their universe. Lots of bad series titles later the obvious hit me and Red Circle Spotlight it was.

The last of the Spotlight covers. Once I thought of bringing the Red Shadow back as something omnipotent and cosmic seeing him along the lines of Marvel's Sphinx came naturally. And as the series was ending then bringing together the Ultra Men and Mighty Crusaders to take on this truly epic menace was only logical :) Based on the cover to Ultimates Cataclysm #1. I think Jim and Jeff did an _amazing_ job here. The pair had done a really nice job with my Captain Marvel commission a couple of years back and was happy that they were interested in doing something else. The delicateness and gracefulness that Jim brings to the figures is just beautiful. Jaguar and Black Jack are two perfect figures. A special thanks to Chris here for getting all the text on wanted to work. I'd tried to do a mock-up myself to see if it might work and it was nothing less than a mess :) As always, I hope Crusaders fans approve :)

Wow, Taylor and Autin are incredible talents , don;t know where you found them but you should have them do more commissions. Can't say I'm crazy about the new versions of the MLJ characters, but this is an incredible commission!!!!
